MUSIC.
‘ The man that hat no music in him
self, nor is not moved with concord
of sweet sounds; is fit for treasons,
stratagems, and spoils.” How true is
this quotation from Shakespeare for
the man is indeed to be pitied who
has no love for music.
Among- our numbers here in school
are many men who are good musi
cians. Some have the opportunity of
continuing their music here if they
are able to make the Band. Others
who arc less fortunate drop [their
music altogether and soon the train
ing for which they took time and
money to obtain soon passes into ob
livion. But there are other fellows
here who play stringed instruments
who think they have no chance to
continue their work unless they play
by themselves. Each year many good
violinists are missed in the canvass
for members for the Guion Hall Or
chestra just because they think they
are not good enough or do not hear
about it or even because of indiffer
ences toward practice. Every man is
given a chance and is encouraged to
come out and try for the orchestra,
which is of a symphony type.
This organization is under the di
rection of Mr. Richard J. Dunn, head
of music here at the College. It plays
for chapel each Sunday morning and
broadcasts programs and entertains
on various occasions throughout the
year. If anyone wishes to try out for
the orchestra be at the Alssembly
Hall for practice, Thursday evening
at 7:45 and lets make more and bet
ter music for our chapel services.
CONTRIBUTORS LIST STARTED.
With this issue the “Bat” has
adopted the use of the contributors
list. The names of men contributing
for each issue will appear directly
under the Staff. If the man con
tributing desires his name on his ar
ticle it will be placed under it, if
not it does not have to be published.
There are many men here on the
campus who have fitful flights of
fancy that will bear publication. If
you have a literary, poetic, or humor-

WHEN IN BRYAN VISIT
THE METROPOLITAN BARBER SHOP
THEY WILL GIVE YOU THE BEST OF WORK
P. G. GAYLE, Manager
ous turn of mind get that old type
writer busy and submit an article
either signed or unsigned. A box will
be placed on the door of 40 Gathright
for all such contributions. Take a
personal interest in the “Bat” and
see if it does not give you a thrill
to see one of your articles printed
that you can send home to the folks
and to your girl. The Staff has a
hard job of getting out enough ma
terial each week and it needs YOUR
support so dust that old brain off and
lets see some of that hidden ability
and ambition which I know is being
harbored by some members of the
student body.
THE MAN WHO KNOWS
WHERE HE IS GOING
There are but two ways of shaping
your career: One is to drift with the
tide; the other is to have a definite
goal—to steer straight for the mark
on the farther shore. The world makes
way for the man who knows where
he is going, but it jostles the dreamer
and the drifter to the side-lines. It
is your attitude towards the present
moment, your realization of its pos
sibilities, which counts more in the
fight than any vague, indefinite im
aginations about the future. Be
thorough. The first step towards the
rewards of industry is to do the work
immediately at hand with all your
might. And remember this:
An ounce of determination applied
to a specific purpose is worth a ton
of genius, which is all latent capacity,
without character or ambition.
It is better to do one act quickly
than talk about a hundred for a day.
We have a definite income: and in
one aspect at least the universe has
been just to us: We have just 24
hours a day income from God; and
the wonderful thing about this in
come in time is that we can save it
only by spending it. If we would save
our dollars and cents we must put
them away, not spending them in the
ordinary routine of life; hut if we
would save our hours and our mom
ents we must spend them, and the
more completely they are spent for
ends that are worth while, the more
they are converted into capital of
character, intelligence and power.—
Griggs.
One of the things of life which
we use the most and value the least
is language. It is the distinction of
our race, our highest prerogative, the
instrument of our progress. It is the
bond of brotherhood, too, and the
body in which truth becomes incar
nate. The thought-history of the race
w.
is written in the very structure of its
speech; and a language or a dialect
is as significant of great social forces
now long spent as the strata of the
earth’s surface are concerning seis
mic energies.—Adams.
Knowledge is of two kinds. We
know a subject ourselves, or we
know where we can find information
upon it.—Samuel Johnson.

A cup
Is the same
As a mug,
And that

The prettiest
Loving cups
You ever saw.
Sleigh Bells
Lives of great men all remind us,
As their pages o’er we turn,
That we’re apt to leave behind us,
Letters that we ought to burn.
